Slash Command2.4k repo starsupdated today

obsidian-find

The obsidian-find command searches an Obsidian vault and returns contextual results including note titles, folder locations, relevant excerpts, and note types rather than filenames alone. Use this when you need to locate specific information within a vault and want sufficient context to act on results immediately, such as finding related notes, people, or projects to open, update, or link together.

Definition

obsidian-find.md

Use the obsidian-second-brain skill. Execute `/obsidian-find $ARGUMENTS`:

The argument is the search query.

1. Read `_CLAUDE.md` first if it exists in the vault root
2. Run `search(query="...")` with the provided query
3. Also try variations if results are sparse (synonyms, related terms)
4. Return results with context: note title, folder, a relevant excerpt, and what type of note it is
5. If results are ambiguous, group them by type (people, projects, tasks, etc.)
6. Offer to open, update, or link any of the found notes

Do not just return filenames - return enough context for the user to act on the results.

**AI-first rule:** Every note created or updated by this command MUST follow `references/ai-first-rules.md` - `## For future Claude` preamble, rich frontmatter (`type`, `date`, `tags`, `ai-first: true`, plus type-specific fields), recency markers per external claim, mandatory `[[wikilinks]]` for every person/project/concept referenced, sources preserved verbatim with URLs inline, and confidence levels where applicable. The vault is for future-Claude retrieval - not human reading.

**Anti-fabrication:** Search exhaustively before claiming any note, person, or file is absent - false absence is the most common failure mode - and never invent facts, entities, or dates (mark unknowns as `TBD`). See the anti-fabrication and search-completeness hard rules in `references/ai-first-rules.md`.
